I’m just saying good landlords should fight to get slumlords out of existence.

They happen all the time. The law and courts in RI are a joke.

They are protesting inside the statehouse and writing their politicians, councilors, reps, senators already. Nothing is being done about these slum conditions!!

Yes they do, every code enforcement department in RI has multiple violations against this company / slumlord.

The point is to allow tenants to get essential repairs done without being sent to eviction court for it.

If good landlords want to make some examples out of themselves and take action against slumlords that’s great, they should request the state bring the heat to the slumlords who you think make them look bad.
